For those of you pagans who think there are no Kindle Gods, beware. After my sinning (see I HAVE SINNED - part#1), I went to do some work in my shop. Now I have a very funny, but exasperating dog (think Marly from the book/movie). A few days ago she destroyed my Kindle 1 power supply. Luckily, since my wife and I both have K1s, I had another power supply. I pulled it out and sprayed "Bitter Apple" (tastes like sh*t to dogs or humans) all over it. Everything was fine again until my SIN. When I came in from outside, she had eaten my 2nd power supply, Bitter Apple and all. Now we have no power supply. When our Kindles run down, we're finished. Rushed to Amazon to order 3 power supples with super fast shipping. I figure they might last at least 2 weeks before she eats them. Does anyone know how long the Kindle God's curse stays on?

I think redemption is around the corner Steve...there is hope Bitter apple does not work, I repeat...does not work!!! I sprayed it on my walls, molding, table legs, chair legs...did it stop Max and Jonni No. We have a hole in the wall, not a hole in the bucket, new molding chewed away, table and chair legs gnawed away... Oh, did I mention that bitter apple doesn't work?

Don't keep me in suspense - did you find something that does work? Please, pretty please with Kindles on it.

Oh crap, you are making me rethink buying both versions of Jim Butchers next Dresden book which is coming out in a couple of days.

To be fair I already had the DTB version on pre-order before I got my K2.

Love the Dresden Files series. Have read the first 10 so far. Have not preordered the new one yet. I am hoping (I know it's a false hope) that the price may come down shortly after it becomes available. $14.27 is so expensive. I will pay it if I have to, but I still hope it will fall to $9.95. Of course I also am hoping that the tooth fairly will pay me a visit and give me a bulk bonus for all the teeth that I have. So what, I'm an idiot, but I'm a nice idiot.

Oh you sinner you, go off and order two or three of these asap.

And sign up for amazon prime so you get free two day shipping.

Leslie, I wasn't aware of these. I assume that they work with the Kindle 1?

Steve,

Is your dog a puppy? When Britt was a puppy, I used to freeze wet terry cloth rags tied in knots, and let her chew on them to ease the pain of teething. Most dogs start chewing because they are teething, then it becomes a habit.

Good luck with your new power supplies.

Maggie is 9 months. She seems to be past the furniture chewing and wall chewing stage (after must destruction), but she likes Kindle power supplies. I have other power supplies that don't tempt her. I guess she likes to read.

My dog ate a $5 bill. I told her nothing over $1s from now on.

This is ridiculous. I got out a table and put my Kindle and an extension cord on it so that I will be ready to recharge as soon as my new chargers come in. Keep the whole set up off the floor. Maggie has now started to gnaw on the legs of the table, and they are metal. How can a dog damage metal like that. This is in a room with computers and DVD recorders and all types of electronics. How come she just goes after my Kindle.

I think you may have to call the Dog Whisperer.

We watch the Dog Whisperer, we watch Dogtown, we watch all dog shows looking for some hint of help. Actually they should have made the movie "Marly & Me" with Maggie (except that she is a terrier). She is much more ridiculous, and funny, than Marly. With her pay from the movie I could buy new Kindles and new furniture, rugs, walls, etc.

IThe cat we adopted in January loves to wake us up every morning, letting us know that if we don't feed her instantly she will starve to death. STARVE do you hear me, STARVE!

Sounds like me!
